歌詞

英語 譯文

Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten.
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land!
In Dixie's Land, where I was born in,
early on one frosty mornin'.
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land!

CHORUS
Den I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie's Land I'll take my stand,
to live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie!
Away, away, away down south in Dixie!

Old Missus marry Will-de-weaber,
Willium was a gay deceiver;
Lo-ok aw-ay! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
But when he put his arms around 'er
He smiled as fierce as a forty-pounder,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

CHORUS

His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaber,
But dat did not seem to greab 'er;
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
Old Missus acted the foolish part,
And died for a man dat broke her heart,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

CHORUS

Now here's a health to the next old Missus,
And all the gals dat want to kiss us;
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
But if you want to drive 'way sorrow,
Come and hear dis song to-morrow,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

CHORUS

Dar's buckwheat cakes an' Injun batter,
Makes you fat or a little fatter;
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
Den hoe it down and scratch your grabble,
To Dixie's land I'm bound to trabble,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

CHORUS[2][3]
[4]

但願我身在棉花地,
那裏的往事難忘記,
看呀!看呀!看到迪克西!
我就出生在迪克西,
在那寒冷的清晨裏,
看呀!看呀!看到迪克西!

副歌
但願我身在迪克西,萬歲!萬歲!
我將守護迪克西,
生死永在迪克西,
走呀,走呀,走到南方迪克西。
走呀,走呀,走到南方迪克西。

紡工威廉娶老姑娘,
這威廉撒謊又浪蕩。
看呀!看呀!看到迪克西!
他伸出雙手將她抱,
笑聲大得像重火炮。
看呀!看呀!看到迪克西!

副歌

他的臉尖銳像屠刀,
但好像沒使她傷心。
看呀!看呀!看到迪克西!
傻傻笨笨的老姑娘,
竟為負心人把命喪,
看呀!看呀!看到迪克西!

副歌

祝福下一位老姑娘,
所有吻我們的姑娘!
看呀!看呀!看到迪克西!
如果想忘記那憂傷,
明天來聽我把歌唱,
看呀!看呀!看到迪克西!

副歌

那兒有蕎麥餅和印地安餅糊,
讓你變胖或更胖,
看呀!看呀!看到迪克西!
一鏟扒開小石頭,
我一定要去迪克西,
看呀!看呀!看到迪克西!
